The Harbour and the Skiff
A breakup nonet
I was out to sea, toes scuffing sand,
You stood on the shore, line in hand,
And at its end, me, facing
Deeper blue and calling
You, to wade to me.
You gave me slack,
I swam through
Parting
Waves.

Another excellent one from you Hannah. I love how the ocean is a stage right here - turbulent and deep!
The line going slack and parting waves- I like how it’s clear, but not in your face. Nicely done Hannah:)

Oh my, parting waves, i especially loved that!
The parting is both sad and courageous. I very clever use of metaphor. It made me reflect, which I always enjoy.
